There’s nothing like being a fan of an NBA team and watching your superstar put on a scoring binge in a big game. Last night as the Los Angeles Clippers wrestled out of the Golden State Warriors’ chokehold to win Game 5 in Oracle Arena, it was clear the Dubs were leaning on Kevin Durant to carry them.
Durant responded to that urgent cry with a monstrous performance: 45 points, 14-of-26 shooting from the field, 5-of-12 from downtown, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals. He was the only starter with a positive plus/minus with +2.
